Cloud gaming is now a demanding and next-gen concept. Amazon Luna, Google Stadia, Xbox Game Pass, and GeForce has launched its cloud gaming service already. Last year, Tencent launched the service in China for macOS and Windows with the name ‘START.’ Now the company is taking preparation to bring the service for TVs.
Yesterday, Tencent announced officially that the company would launch the TV version of its cloud gaming service START on 12th December. Tencent is making deals with TV manufacturers for the kick start, such as TCL, Changhong, Hisense, and Suning’s Biu. Tencent also declared that in the future, they’d work with other major TV manufacturers too.
Last year, during the launch of its cloud gaming service, Tencent partnered with NVIDIA. In this service, NVIDIA’s GPU technology provides the same experience to the user that they get when “playing locally on a gaming rig.” Now, more players having TVs can enjoy the service on a larger screen.
This project will work for both sides because NVIDIA’s GeForce is already available in North America and Europe, and now ‘START’ will help grab the Chinese market.
Still, Tencent hasn’t informed anything about how those TVs will be featured. It is assumed that there will be an app for supported models. Games such as FIFA Online 4, League of Legends, NBA 2K Online 2, Biped, King of Fighters, and QQ Speed will be available on the cloud gaming service.
